Yard Operative Woking Depot

Day Aggregates Ltd.; United Kingdom; On-site; GBP 10,000 - 40,000; Full time

Job description

Day Aggregates wanted to reduce its exposure to these risks and improve tyre management across its fleet of over 150 vehicles.

TrucTyre and Day Aggregates agreed to partner in the trial of a tyre monitoring system. A two-year Innovate UK government grant was awarded to support the development of this system.

The system consists of a sensor that straddles two-wheel nuts and is held with a bracket. The sensor is activated by a 1mm movement. When the wheel nuts start to work loose, the switch opens, and an RF warning is sent to the driver via a receiver to the cab. In addition, via the TyreWatch telematics platform, a warning is sent directly to the traffic office. This is designed to warn them about the imminent danger of a loose wheel.

The system is also capable of monitoring tyre pressure and temperature. By keeping an eye on these elements and taking appropriate corrective action, the operator is able to improve tyre life while also enhancing the durability and safety of the tyre casing.

Crucially, the system reduces the reliance on the driver to check and monitor the vehicle tyres. The processing of data and reporting directly to the transport department is automated and continuous.

The driver is warned and able to stop their vehicle before a wheel becomes detached, a tyre blows or runs incorrectly inflated, avoiding an incident that could potentially have catastrophic consequences.
